Taking the Mountain to Mohammed: The Effect of Librarian Visits to Faculty Members on Their use of the Library
Year: 2010
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Much has been written on liaison programs and faculty perceptions thereof, but little has been written on the effectiveness of specific liaison activities. This article contains the results of a survey that asked faculty to indicate whether meeting individually with a librarian changed their use of library services and resources. Although it was sent to only a small number of faculty (30), 40% of those who were contacted responded to the survey. Of those who responded, 92% indicated that meeting with a librarian had increased their use of at least one library resource or service.
